A practical guide to qualitative inquiry in healthcare

This fifth edition connects the reasoning behind qualitative research with the practical choices involved in carrying it out in nursing and healthcare. Its scope ranges from ethnography and action research to grounded theory, phenomenology, and narrative inquiry, while also addressing data collection, sampling, and analysis. Interviewing and participant observation receive specific attention, alongside questions of credibility, trustworthiness, and validity. The book’s applied examples and explanations of abstract concepts make research design and practice the organizing thread, with inquiry into people’s attitudes, values, concerns, motivations, and cultural contexts among its stated concerns.
